Comments Thread For: Fury's Trainer: Wilder's Costume Excuse Is Not Ridiculous

[Bonduu]

I absolutely buy Wilder's excuse. I've been there before. I've carried something for way too long once....and had no legs afterwards. I buy Wilder's story. I definitely would like to see fight 3 (no I'm not from Wilder's camp). While Fury is a better boxer than Wilder, let's not get it twisted. Fury did not destroy Wilder. When I think of destruction, I think of Mercer VS Morrison (true fight fans have seen that fight and know what I'm talking about). Wilder was a punching bag as he was tired, his legs were shot, and he had no movement. Wilder was not fresh. That became evident quickly. While Fury outfoxed Wilder in fight I, he didn't dominate the fight. Wilder if fresh, definitely has a punchers chance. I would not be surprised if a third fight turns out differently.....which is why I would love to see it. Wilder needs better folks in his corner, btw. He's very one dimensional. He needs to learn how to box/fight.

Deotay, is that you mate? Must be you...
How is the jaw and earlobe? You still crying about the dumb decision to walk into the ring with an outfit that weighs 40 pounds and costs 60k?

In the next match, the Buminator should put on panties alone, and a helicopter should drop him into the ring...

[The Westerner]

It is confirmed that in Wilders next fight, he will make his ring entrance totally naked to avoid losing all movement to his legs.

Noooooooooooooooo 😂😂😂

Dont forget the gloves and the wraps... next time have them wrap your hands in the ring... the lamest excuse ever!!! Tops chavez jrs excuse of the broken nose!!!

Fury's Trainer: Wilder's Costume Excuse Is Not Ridiculous

... of course it is not ridiculous -- as long as Sugar Hill and Fury are after another shitload of money from poor Wilder...

... Of, I feel sick...

From what I've gathered Wilder had a knee injury and Fury had an ankle injury going into this fight. Who had the more severe injury? Who knows....

Can't wait to see the 3rd fight. Hopefully both guys will be mostly healthy going into the 3rd fight and we'll get to see something as epic as the first 2 fights. IMO There's nothing in sports outside of the Superbowl that overshadows a big 50/50 welterweight or heavyweight boxing match. We need more fights like these.

I think Sugar Hill says that the costumes weight might have made a difference in order to build credibility for the third fight.

In order for a third fight to turn out much differently requires Wilder to be able to keep Fury off of him. That's the primary change he needs to make. That's a pretty tall order.

Fury camp trying to get fans and casuals to buy the 3 rd fight . First he was rocked in the 1st and now this bs .. come on

The truth has been told!

I enjoy Fury’s usual style, but I don’t know if he should revert to it versus Wilder. The reason why Tyson was successful the last time is partly because he didn’t give Deontay as many chances to unload that big right. Dodging, slipping and ducking, while throwing light jabs, is riskier. We saw that in the first fight, where Tyson was fortunate he wasn’t put to sleep.

I'd have to agree as Fury's previous style leaves too much opportunity for Wilder to win by KO. Fury needs to again overwhelm Wilder, rough him up and then stop him. No doubt in my mind about the approach Fury should take.
